BroCal Chemical’s ionFlow is a game-changing surfactant product that is transforming the oil and gas industry. This environmentally friendly solution has proven to be highly effective in treating and increasing the productivity of producing oil wells.
Our patented technology delivers substantial cost savings compared to competing options, while also providing a simple and effective method for remediating and removing hydrocarbons in tank cleaning and sump remediation at tank farms and refineries.
ionFlow works at the molecular level by reducing water molecules to their smallest micelle size. This breakthrough allows the water to penetrate deep into heavy oils, waxes, asphaltenes, and other deposits that traditional treatments cannot effectively reach.
Once dispersed into water, ionFlow coats these ultra-small molecules with surfactant properties, creating a powerful cleaning agent that can easily penetrate fine permeability and reduce oil viscosity.

Ultra-small molecules penetrate deep into oils, waxes, and deposits
Surfactant-coated molecules break down deposits and reduce viscosity
Heavy oil consists of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, including oil, waxes, and asphaltenes, which are partially emulsified and suspended in water. This thickened substance becomes adsorbed onto the formation’s sand and rock, creating a semi-solid that reluctantly releases free-flowing oil, effectively locking it up and inhibiting its flow to the well pump.
The technique that ionFlow is primarily concerned with is known as Solvent-Surfactant Stimulation. This approach, backed by real science and supported in peer-reviewed literature, offers a more targeted and effective solution for enhancing oil recovery than traditional methods like water flooding, steaming programs, and fracturing techniques.
